I'm afraid not, the accelerating expansion of the universe will stretch out space ahead of you faster than you can traverse it. From your perspective the galaxies will become sparser and sparser over time until you're in an ever colder eternal black void.

Though perhaps the amount of energy it would take to accelerate that much exceeds the available energy in the universe? So maybe that's what balances it.
